Food Recovery Network is Feeding More People Faster
Annual Report FY25
“It always makes me smile when I hear stories of our members delivering food and how the families look forward to eating the food we bring. It is an honor to be part of this organization and to help people in need.”
“Our group is so supportive of each other, and we work great as a team. One of my favorite memories was when we did a HUGE Starbucks pickup in the pouring rain. We had to park our car far from the location so we had to run in the rain with bags of Starbucks. We thought it was so funny that it was raining so hard! We started dancing and singing in the rain. I felt a lot closer to my team after this experience!”

Where we are
“FRN has helped me grow as a leader by showing me the power of coming together and working towards a common cause that helps both the environment and the local community we live in.”
FRN geographically targets our work in areas of heightened need for food access and greater opportunity for our food recovery programs - leading to exponentially effective programming.
FRN has a proven framework for identifying communities in need of food. We support these areas of most need by doing everything possible to feed people. By leveraging data to drive our impact in areas of greatest need and engaging with college students and local partners, we design and implement effective food recovery and food access programs tailored to each community.

“One major way FRN has helped to shape my leadership style is by encouraging me to look at the bigger picture. This has mainly been through increased political action. We make a big difference in the lives of the people we help serve meals to, but there is much to be done on an institutional/systematic level.”
Our work is possible because of our generous funders who believe no one should be hungry. Thank you for your financial support.

“Every time someone tells me that they wouldn’t have eaten if it weren’t for FRN drops, it makes my heart swell with joy and pride. I believe that I would not feel as accomplished or ready for what’s next without the skills and confidence that I have gained throughout my time with FRN.”
